FE500 Manual

The FE500 offers maximum versatility and a quick, simple operation. As our most economical solution, the easy-to-use tie-down is available in Cam, Ratchet and Overcenter Buckle assemblies and offers snap hook and D-ring or S-hook attachment styles. The 1” wide strap provides easy attachment to a variety of wheelchair designs allowing the webbing to conform to the structural frame of the wheelchair, minimizing scratches and dents.

Overcenter Buckle tie-downs can be used in the front or rear securement points of the wheelchair. They are quick and easy to operate and are a popular choice. With Ratchet Buckle tie-downs, the Parallel Lap Belt attaches directly to the floor track and provides an occupant restraint system that secures the
passenger separately and independently from the wheelchair securement system.

Standards Compliance

FE500 retractors, when properly used with a complete Sure-Lok System (comprised of wheelchair tie-down, a complete occupant restraint system, including lap and shoulder belt), track and anchorages are designed to meet the following requirements where applicable:

30mph/20g Impact Test Criteria per SAE J2249

30mph/20g Impact Test Criteria per Canadian Z605 Standard

30mph/20g Impact Test Criteria per National Standards for School Buses

WARNINGS:

Always use two of the same, identical style buckle tie-downs for attachment to the front securement points of the wheelchair and two of the same, identical style buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points. Mixing types of tie-downs may not provide equal tension and could result in the wheelchair not being properly secured.

Always use Ratchet or Overcenter Buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points of the wheelchair. Never use Cam Buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points of the wheelchair as they will not meet system performance requirements.
